halloween party

A few months ago I got this remarkably beautiful and well preserved booklet on Children's Holiday Parties from 1935. Every page looks like these pages. These were sold for 25 cents at the A&P and put out by the A.E. Staley Manufacturing Company, who was best known for corn starch and corn syrup at this time.

These scans are not enhanced. The colors and illustrations are so great. Maybe you will get some ideas for your own Halloween celebration this week!

About Me

I have been publishing zines under the name PonyBoy Press since 1994. Once I moved to Portland in 2000, I also started selling crafts, which I don't do as much these days.
I like home decor, vintage stuff, history, fat activism, zines and web stuff. I also do a blog on vintage photos and ephemera called The Cedar Chest.
